But I feel good when at home | A spring scenery in front of my house |
As a traveller I like to go on my own and I use tours only when it is impossible or too uncomfortable to travel alone. When visiting a country I search a balance between top sites and less travelled ones. I like to walk in the streets of a town where there is nothing to see but people living and working there.
Switzerland is my home country. I live in Oron-la-Ville near Lausanne (Lake of Geneva) in the French speaking part. |

|  | Wintertime - don't forget your pullover I live 650m over sea level. Until the end of the eighties, we had lot of snow, sometimes it lasted 3 months. Now, climate is changing and snow is scarce. About one week a season. You must climb the mountains to find it (around 1400m). The day when I took the photograph, there was a snow storm. A great pleasure. |

|  | Mountains are not too far 15 minutes drive and you reach the mountains. The first range before the Alps. They are not so high: less than 2000m. There you can ski and enjoy all winter activities. |
|  | Summer can be hot...cold...sunny ...or rainy I don't travel often summertime. I like to spend hours reading, swimming, walking and meeting people. A bottle of Swiss red or white wine is on the table ready to be shared with friends or neighbors. |
